Comments:

Great race. PR by 12 minutes. I knew with a perfect pacing day I could hit 1:40 or lower, but, my first mile was 8:30 (WTF?) and mile 7 was 8 minutes, everything else was between 7:20 and 7:40. Great effort! Hydration was good, no cramping, no GI problems. All in all, it was a lot of fun!

After some additional thought, I think I underperformed a bit; however, I now what what kind of pace I can hold over long distances which will help me out come January.
